Michelangelo's journals might have been found behind his wine kegs in the basement of his house in Rome by his nephew and heir, Lionardo. Lionardo might have kept the journals hidden for many years. However, now that they have come to light, are they authentic or just a figment of this writer's imagination? Michelangelo may have written such a journal documenting his life. From his secure and creative life in Settignano, to his journey in Florence from a crowded home where he shared a bed with his brothers to the palace of Lorenzo Medici where he was treated as a prince, to his last fifty-six years which were fraught with frustrations. In these latter years he dealt with a succession of Popes, the rise and fall of the Medicis, two tombs- one in Rome and one in Firenze - each of complexity enough for any one human lifetime, and frustrating frescos in the Sistine Chapel, interspersed with the architectural challenges of the New Sacristy and Florentine Library in Firenze, and then with St. Peter's in Rome. How could one man be so versatile? So competent? So productive? So extra-ordinary? Read the journal and see what this author thinks Michelangelo was feeling and thinking as he lived his super-human life.

Translated by Lucinda Byatt This book tells the remarkable story of a rare discovery: theuncovering of two lost paintings by the great Renaissance artistMichelangelo. Like many stories of artistic loss, this one begins in a library inItaly, where Antonio Forcellino - a distinguished Michelangeloscholar and restorer - stumbled across some unpublished lettersamong the papers of Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga, son of Isabellad’Este and an extremely important figure in the ItalianRenaissance. These letters comment on the paintings of Michelangeloin a way that is completely at odds with what was to become thedominant critical tradition of Michelangelo scholarship, aninconsistency that set Forcellino off on a journey that took him toDubrovnik, Oxford, New York and Niagara Falls and culminated in thediscovery of two magnificent paintings: Pieta with Mary and TwoAngels, now in a private collection in America, andCavalieri Crucifixion, now held by an educationalinstitution in England. Through a combination of careful historicalresearch, extensive restoration and meticulous radiographicanalysis, Forcellino shows convincingly that these paintings can betraced back to the studio of Michelangelo. This extraordinary story, brilliantly retold, calls into questionthe received view of Michelangelo’s work and fills in amissing piece in our understanding of one of the greatest artistsof all time.

For a unique, little-known three month period in 1505 Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. They each had a comission to paint a mural depicting the military glories of Florence. This play dramatizes that great moment in history. What transpired in that room? How did Leonardo, sophisticated and well travelled, handle the local bearded recluse? How did Michelangelo react to the older, more experienced artist working in his city? Salai, Leonardo's adopted son, was named the Devil for good reason.

From one of Britain’s most respected and acclaimed art historians, art critic of The Guardian—the galvanizing story of a sixteenth-century clash of titans, the two greatest minds of the Renaissance, working side by side in the same room in a fierce competition: the master Leonardo da Vinci, commissioned by the Florentine Republic to paint a narrative fresco depicting a famous military victory on a wall of the newly built Great Council Hall in the Palazzo Vecchio, and his implacable young rival, the thirty-year-old Michelangelo. We see Leonardo, having just completed The Last Supper, and being celebrated by all of Florence for his miraculous portrait of the wife of a textile manufacturer. That painting—the Mona Lisa—being called the most lifelike anyone had ever seen yet, more divine than human, was captivating the entire Florentine Republic. And Michelangelo, completing a commissioned statue of David, the first colossus of the Renaissance, the archetype hero for the Republic epitomizing the triumph of the weak over the strong, helping to reshape the public identity of the city of Florence and conquer its heart. In The Lost Battles, published in England to great acclaim (“Superb”—The Observer; “Beguilingly written”—The Guardian), Jonathan Jones brilliantly sets the scene of the time—the politics; the world of art and artisans; and the shifting, agitated cultural landscape. We see Florence, a city freed from the oppressive reach of the Medicis, lurching from one crisis to another, trying to protect its liberty in an Italy descending into chaos, with the new head of the Republic in search of a metaphor that will make clear the glory that is Florence, and seeing in the commissioned paintings the expression of his vision. Jones reconstructs the paintings that Leonardo and Michelangelo undertook—Leonardo’s Battle of Anghiari, a nightmare seen in the eyes of the warrior (it became the first modern depiction of the disenchantment of war) and Michelangelo’s Battle of Cascina, a call to arms and the first great transfiguration of the erotic into art. Jones writes about the competition; how it unfolded and became the defining moment in the transformation of “craftsman” to “artist”; why the Florentine government began to fall out of love with one artist in favor of the other; and how—and why—in a competition that had no formal prize to clearly resolve the outcome, the battle became one for the hearts and minds of the Florentine Republic, with Michelangelo setting out to prove that his work, not Leonardo’s, embodied the future of art. Finally, we see how the result of the competition went on to shape a generation of narrative paintings, beginning with those of Raphael. A riveting exploration into one of history’s most resonant exchanges of ideas, a rich, fascinating book that gives us a whole new understanding of an age and those at its center.

A Rolling Stone-Kirkus Best Music Book of 2020 The definitive account of pop music in the mid-eighties, from Prince and Madonna to the underground hip-hop, indie rock, and club scenes Everybody knows the hits of 1984 - pop music's greatest year. From "Thriller" to "Purple Rain," "Hello" to "Against All Odds," "What's Love Got to Do with It" to "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go," these iconic songs continue to dominate advertising, karaoke nights, and the soundtracks for film classics (Boogie Nights) and TV hits (Stranger Things). But the story of that thrilling, turbulent time, an era when Top 40 radio was both the leading edge of popular culture and a moral battleground, has never been told with the full detail it deserves - until now. Can't Slow Down is the definitive portrait of the exploding world of mid-eighties pop and the time it defined, from Cold War anxiety to the home-computer revolution. Big acts like Michael Jackson (Thriller), Prince (Purple Rain), Madonna (Like a Virgin), Bruce Springsteen (Born in the U.S.A.), and George Michael (Wham!'s Make It Big) rubbed shoulders with the stars of the fermenting scenes of hip-hop, indie rock, and club music. Rigorously researched, mapping the entire terrain of American pop, with crucial side trips to the UK and Jamaica, from the biz to the stars to the upstarts and beyond, Can't Slow Down is a vivid journey to the very moment when pop was remaking itself, and the culture at large - one hit at a time.

Excerpt from Michelangelo: A Record of His Life as Told in His Own Letters and Papers Then, too, there are other gaps in his correspondence which can only be due to the loss of some of his letters, and these I have endeavoured to bridge as lightly as possible in order to avoid the imputation of having myself taken an unfair share of the space at my disposal for the whole work. Such notes as these serve only to link one letter to the other and do not pretend to deal with all or any of the events which occurred in the intervals, and which will be found fully dealt with by such writers as Grimm, Symonds, Sir Charles Holroyd and Mr. Gerald 8. Davies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Though known primarily as a sculptor and painter, Michelangelo was also a poet. In his lifetime, Michelangelo wrote over 300 poems, many of which were works of devotion and love poems of a spiritual and mystical nature. In 1961, Joseph Tusiani offered the first English translations of the complete corpus of Michelangelo’s poems. These translations illuminated the subtleties of both the source and target language, giving Michelangelo’s verse a freshness, a depth, and an inventiveness that time has not been able to obscure. The Complete Poems of Michelangelo reproduces Tusiani’s masterful translation. In addition to Tusiani’s introduction and translations, this new edition contains Michelangelo’s original Italian poetry, a chronology of his life and works, a biographical profile of Tusiani, and an interview with Tusiani exploring his musings on classic literature and the subtle art of translation. The Complete Poems of Michelangelo sheds light on Tusiani’s many exceptional accomplishments during his long and prolific life as a scholar, poet, translator, and artist.
